Stop hating on Gears. You don't like it? Don't play it. You think its rediculous they put a map pack out for 800 points when they havent "fixed" the game yet? Don't buy the maps.

That being said, I have a blast playing Gears 2 and I try to play it every night. The new maps are amazing, especially Fuel Station.

Yes you can call me a Gears fanboy. That is one thing I am not ashamed of, but please don't say im defending the game just soley based on that. Im doing it becuase a lot of people want to be pissed at Epic but your hatred is misplaced.

A patch is coming, Epic already confirmed this, here is a qoute from Mark Rein the VP of Epic:


Unattributed Quote:


Just relax folks. We are going to make improvements to the multiple aspects of the multiplayer portion of the game over time. I'm confident that many of the things that concern you will be addressed. There is no point us getting down in the weeds with complex explanations (that are over my head anyway) because often it is a series of minor things that fix major issues you might be having. Regardless of what specific development techniques we use there are likely some bugs that have to be squashed as well to make those techniques work the way you expect. Just chill folks, we're on the job!



Last thing I'll say is that patching takes time, the majority of that time is the certification process the patch must go through at Microsoft.

Here's an Example:

Smoke Grenades have too much of a shock, so what are we going to do?

Hmm, lets open up the code and change all of this code to get it to act differently. Alright now lets run it again...

Nope. Thats too weak.....lets edit it again and play test through......

Opps, now that caused another problem, now we have to fix that...

Ok, so now we have to go fix all the other bugs...the same exact way...over and over...

And now we have to wait a up to a total of two weeks for our patch to be confirmed through microsoft


Basically what im trying to say is, there is obviously a lot of things that need to be fixed/tweaked, give it some time, play another game, and most of all stop complaining because thats not helping as much as you think it is.

Everyone and anyone has a right to complain. Who are you to tell us we can't? They should of tested the game more. $60 is a lot of money for most of us, whether we work or not. I know not every game can be perfect, but it also shouldn't have so many flaws.

On another note, I just saw some new glitches where someone can melee you from behind a wall and also tag you behind a wall with a grenade. I experienced it first hand. I was able to find a youtube video for you guys.

GIVE US THE PATCH ALREADY!!!

Complain then, I'm sure the patch will get to us faster.

Game companies Test Games? when in the hell did they start doing this ?????




Yeah I thought we tested the games and then complained and about 2-3 months after the problem was seen en masse, they would release a patch to fix only part of the problem....hmm that is what happens....D'oh!

We are the video game testers :p

Yes they figured out why pay testers when we can charge customers to test out games for us. Then we will patch it and then charge for some more dlc (that should of been free) to cover the time it took for us to patch it.



Why should it have been free?

Halo 3- Heroic Map Pack- 3 Maps, 800 MP....Became free in Spring '08
Legendary Map Pack- 3 Maps, 800 MP

Call of Duty 4- Variety Map Pack- 4 Maps (oh god no way), 800 MP

Call of Duty 2- Invasion Map Pack- 5 Maps (say what?!?), 800 MP
Skirmish Map Pack- 2 Maps, 400 MP
Bonus Map Pack- 2 Maps, Free of Charge (aka "Bonus")

Gears of War- Hidden Fronts Map Pack- 4 Maps, 800 MP (Became free after Sept. '07).
Map Pack #1-2 Maps, Free thanks to Discovery Channel

and just so you know, EPIC wanted the maps to be free, Microsoft is the one charging 800 points.

I loved Gears 2. Single player was amazing, and multiplayer with friends and bots was outstanding. But I didn't buy the maps. Their online needs fixing, and in a bad way.

And Gears 2 has fallen to 4th overall on the Xbox Live playlist already, beaten by Halo 3, Call of Duty: World at War, and Call of Duty 4. Considering how long the first Gears was the #1 most played game on Live, that is a resounding middle finger from gamers to Epic.
